Cat anxiety help
Please help this first time cat parent..
For context, my cat has always been anxious. She recently turned 1 and she hates loud droning noises, going outside, her pet carrier, and driving.
Moved my girl to my apartment a couple of days ago for college. She immediately ran under the bed and hid the entire day standing in the corner behind my bed. I know cats need around 3 days to get acclimated so I left her alone. During the 3 days, she would not eat or drink water, or even use the litter box.
During the second night, she got out under the bed and began meowing loudly non stop. When morning came she hid back under the bed and the next night she did the same thing.
What does this behavior mean? Is she just scared? How do I get her more comfortable? I could not sleep due to her meowing all night so I had to move her back to my parent’s house where she’s used to living and she immediately began behaving like she usually does. I want to eventually bring her back to live with me, as I already miss her, however what can I do to calm her down?
Thanks guys.
